mythology above squares Tina's story. I heard her interview after he resigned. Her story is RIDICULOUS!

Over the years, I've met quite a few hugging families. I don't come from a very affectionate family so hugging seems too intimate for me. It is like we're in an alternate universe when we think a squeeze around the waist, in a public place, is even sexual, much less a sexual assault or harassment.

How was she assaulted? How was she harassed?

I have body image insecurities. If I'm called on to stand up in front of a room and speak, I'm uncomfortable. Imagine a world where my discomfort can lead to your dismissal from your job.
